Accuracy and Uncertainty of Position Detection of Moving Objects by Resonator Arrays

Abstract

Arrays of magnetically coupled resonators have recently been proposed as position sensors for both static and dynamic applications. Despite their promising characteristics, an accurate evaluation of their functioning in non-ideal conditions is fundamental and necessary to adapt them to industrial contexts. This article analyses the accuracy of the position measurement in resonator arrays under system parameter variations. Appropriate parameters for the evaluation of the sensor performance have been discussed and analysed considering non-ideal system components by exploiting the Monte Carlo method.
